Interview Details

I was called a week after I submitted my application. I was asked to do a phone interview, where they asked basic questions such as (are you still interested in the job? are you able to work weekends & holidays? training is three weeks 8am-5pm, off on weekends and you are not allowed to be absent or tardy during the three weeks, is that okay with you? etc.) at the end of the phone interview, she suggested times that worked for me to come in for a face to face interview. The face to face interview was the following week where I was asked a series of basic interview questions. There were two women who interviewed me and they were very nice and humorist, and made me feel comfortable. The interview went well and after I was offered the position and I accepted.

Interview Details

I had an series of phone interviews and also an simulated call situation. I passed all three and I finally had the face to face interview. It was in an small conference room, which still had not been cleaned from the last time it was occupied. The interview started with an series of what the position is like and the environment. The questions finally began. It was all on a few pieces of paper, more like an questionaire. Very little eye contact from the interviewer, I was shocked. I have been on alot of big corporate interviews and this was disappointing. The questions were the same questions I was asked over the phone. Describe an escalated call . How did you handle it? Describe how you went above and beyond on your previous job? I passed the first interview and the next interview was the manager of the call center. Sge asked the exact same questions from the first interviewer. I gave the same response. She was very arrogant and asked me did I upsell in my previous jobs. I knew there she was not satisfied with my responses and I knew I did not get offered the job. Too bad, I keep seeing that the company is still looking for reps. They need to have an human resources associate start interviews. This company is not screening properly. Honestly I am glad I was not offered the position. Just from the mannerisms. This is one place where my customer service skills would be stippened. I pride myself on my skills. Good luck to future candidates.

Interview Details

I was called on 6/17 for a phone interview and scheduled my 1:1 interview for the following day, the next day I received a phone call for a final phone interview and the following Monday I was called back for an offer contingent on passing the background, drug, and criminal check. Everyone was extremely nice. They do a background check through a company called HireRight, they verify work as usual and highest form of completed education (I'm currently in college as a premed student, I was home schooled during high school) and HireRight wanted me to send in every piece of documentation from my home schooling years - I could understand if I claimed that was my only education but I am in college receiving federal loans, if the state could verify it then certainly HireRight could get that information on their own. Also, they check for speeding tickets... for a call center position. Which was a little odd to me. The drug test consisted of cutting out a piece of hair (not just a few strands, a good sized lock of hair) to test 10 years back. Luckily for me I didn't experiment as a teenager! I work for a financial company dealing with thousands of dollars a day and they were not as nutty as AAA about tedious things. I initially accepted the offer, but after dealing with HIreRight I declined the position simply because I was tired of having to fetch everything for them- so I told HireRight to stick it, I"m not going to jump through hoops and do their job so I can get paid $13 an hour. Sorry.

The Irving call center location hires EVERY SINGLE MONTH and the call center is a small call center. Literally they have their training class every month for new hires - I was supposed to start July 2nd but they had one scheduled for July 28th as well and I didn't quite understand why this was. Were they expecting to lose people? This quickly told me that there is a high turn over, I spoke with an old neighbor who was hired by AAA in 2012 and was let go 2 months later because "they hired too many people." It might seem like a cover story but seeing as how often they hire, it doesn't seem far off. I also didn't like that the only measure of performance is whether or not you pass customer feedback surveys with an 85%- if the customer declines to rate service or the customer rates it as "good" instead of "very good" it doesn't count and you fail which counts against you. Also, their benefits aren't that great.

I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at American Automobile Association (AAA) in March 2013.

Interview Details

Initial communication by was phone. They setup interviews within 10 days of the call. You are usually interviewed by HR and a lower-level manager of the department you are applying for. Then you are taken to the department for a tour, and then interviewed by the Manager or Director for that department. It is a very welcoming environment, and low stress in terms of interviews. They want to see who you are as a person, not how much you can pass a test.

I applied through a recruiter – interviewed at American Automobile Association (AAA) in March 2012.

Interview Details

-I first applied online through their website

-2 weeks go by and I finally got a call from a recruiter inviting me to come in and take a personality and skills test. They let you know if you passed or failed the test right on the spot. Now usually, from what I'm told, if you pass the skills and personality test, they send you home and a person from HR will call you for a phone interview. However, strangely, that same day after passing the tests they gave me a 1:1 interview right on the spot.

-After they sent home from the 1:1 interview, 2 hours go by and they called me up to set up a second interview the following day.

-The second interview consisted of two managers firing questions one after another. I was intimidated at first, the managers were very kind and made sure I was comfortable before the interview started. The interview lasted about 20 mins. After the interview ended, they invited me to see if I would like to shadow and listen to one of their employees.

-They called me a day later and informed me that I got the position, however, they had to conduct a extensive background check and drug test (Hair test).

-About 3 more days went by and they informed me that every thing was fine and that i would be starting the new position in about 2 weeks.
